The letter suggests to Dr. Warren that he publish his work on the Lowell vs. Faxon and Hawkes case independently of Charles Lowell.

Warren, meanwhile, purposely omits the defendants names in his writing, and if he were to publish alongside Lowell it would be as though he was intentionally trying to expose them.
